Carpet Replacement

Melbourne Airport Authority is soliciting sealed bids for carpet and flooring replacement in terminal concourse areas at Melbourne Orlando International Airport, with bids due November 5, 2026, and a mandatory site visit on October 8 at 10:00 a.m. at the airport's 2nd Floor Conference Room.

The scope includes removal and disposal of existing carpet from the concourse serving Gates 1–6, the sloped walkway at Gate 7, and areas extending past restrooms to the VIP lounge entrance and sterile area exit, followed by installation of charcoal-colored Obex Grid Millikin commercial carpet tile with high tensile strength in high-traffic zones and vinyl or similar walkway material in designated high-traffic areas. The contractor must coordinate work during regular and night operating hours while maintaining passenger safety and minimizing disruptions; gate closures will be coordinated. Contractor employees must maintain airport badging throughout the project. Pricing must be provided on a line-item basis covering materials, labor, carpet tile unit costs, installation hourly rates, and any additional repairs or equipment. Alternates to the specified Obex Grid Millikin carpet are permitted only if submitted during the questions-and-answers period and approved via addendum; unapproved alternates render bids non-responsive.

Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond; the successful contractor must post a 100% performance bond prior to award. Bid prices remain firm for 90 calendar days after bid closing and must include all delivery, training, and specification compliance costs. The Authority will award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder considering purchase price, reputation, quality, extent of service fit, past relationships, and total long-term costs. Preference in case of tie scores applies to bidders with drug-free workplace programs, followed by local bidders within Melbourne city limits, then Brevard County bidders. The contractor must maintain comprehensive general liability of $2 million, auto liability of $2 million, workers' compensation per Florida statute, fire insurance of $1 million, and umbrella liability of $2 million. Questions are due October 15 at 5:00 p.m.
